Cosmetic surgery is on the rise. Among the most popular procedures is the upper blepharoplasty (bleh-fe-roe-plah-stee) or what many people call an eyelid lift.
Quick reminder if you’re also considering an eyebrow lift
It’s best to see a surgeon who can evaluate you for both procedures at the same time. By doing these surgeries together, the surgeon can pull the brow up first, then figure out how much skin to remove from the upper eyelid. If you get an upper blepharoplasty and later want an eyebrow lift, your surgeon may have removed too much eyelid skin, limiting how much of an eyebrow lift you can safely achieve.
A final note on cosmetic surgery
Gravity is undefeated. It affects the way people look and feel as they age in different ways. People who have had upper blepharoplasty to improve their vision or appearance often say they look more energized and ten to twenty years younger. No one has to get plastic surgeries or procedures, but if you choose to, there are options, such as the upper blepharoplasty, which are safe and subtle. Read these five things to if you are considering having cosmetic surgery.
